Reading this a month later makes me sad that RAM prices _still_ seem to be skyrocketing:

I'm glad I decided to get a DDR5-6000 2x16GB kit on September 18th, rather than at any point later, as I get the feeling that I will not be purchasing anything voluntarily on that for a while.

Admittedly, the difference between having 32GB and 64GB on this system is probably not _huge_, but it's allowed me to continue with a few bad habits with less impact from them.
